poop culture

God bless us, #2 and all

Shit happens. Coincidences happen. And on very rare occasions, shit coincidences happen.

Last Friday I suggested on the BM Newswire that the dynamics underlying the war on terror might be mitigated if we worked towards adopting common pooping practices. As if on cue, I received in that afternoon’s mail a package containing this figurine, depicting President Bush adopting the Mideastern squatter's position while cradling the world in an apparently loving embrace.

The figurine, it turns out, was not made in disrespect. It is an El Caganer ("The Great Shitter") from Catalonia, Spain. Catalonia has a tradition dating back to the Eighteenth Century of placing squatting shitter figurines in the vicinity of nativity scenes. Placing El Caganer behind a bush in a crèche brings one good fortune, making the ground rich and fertile for the year's crops. A friend of mine who knows about my PoopReporting "hobby" hunted this down for me on a recent trip to Spain. (Thanks, Jan!)

With this I mind, I speak on behalf of PoopReport in wishing its readers a fertile year, filled with many productive dumps -- and all the good that comes from them.

Show some poop support, or make a poop retort.

Interesting. However, if this Spanish statue were to be accurate, Bush would be squatting over the world.

TSV, you nailed it baby, even the writers of the Soprano's agree, to wit

But Christopher what about the war and terrorists?

Last year I found a website (in Spanish) completely about El Caganer. It had photos of hundreds of different models, and you could buy them over the 'net.

Very cool! I don't mind if you call me a liberal hippy, I want one too.

Where online can I buy a ceramic figure of el Caganer for next Christmas?

It is not liberal hippy shit. No hippy would buy this. I should know. I'm a hippy. It is liberal, middle-income, democratic shit. And that's just fine. You know somewhere there is a figure of Hilary doing something similar somewhere.....
